STDSkillz Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Need way more information than that. We need to know the name of your motherboard. You can use tools like Aida 32 to tell you what kind of motherboard you have: http://www.majorgeeks.com/download181.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jcrapes Posted May 13, 2005 Share Posted May 13, 2005 Your computer manual should also tell you what kind of RAM you need. Some motherboards are very picky at the type of RAM they use. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Check it out; it will guide you from brand, model, etc to determine what your specs are, and even give you the competitive pricing with pricegrabber.

It'll be something like 533 MHz or 800 MHz. If you have an 800 MHz, you will need PC-3200 DDR. As others have posted, knowing who made your motherboard and the model number will go a long way towards helping us help you. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Darth Vader Posted May 14, 2005 Share Posted May 14, 2005 Looks like you have 4 slots for your ram: 2 slots for 184pin and 2 slots for 168 Check which slots you are using at the moment. Have a look at this link...it should tell you different types of memory upgrades you can buy... http://www.crucial.com/store/listparts.asp...4VMM2&submit=Go Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the fastest Ram you could put in there would be 333 mhz. (DDR). The ram you are looking at is 400 mhz. Your ram slots do have the 2.5 volts required for some DDR rams though....That's good!
